Chin Wing Chun Society
160 East Pender Street
This building, constructed in 1925 as headquarters for a surname
association, demonstrates the blending of influences in Chinatown's
architecture. The architect, R.A. McKenzie, who practiced for more
than five years in northern China, included the recessed balconies
common in tropical southern China in the building design. However,
the crowning pediment supported by columns is pulled from the classical
Western tradition.
